Kat thinks if you do that, Mrs Brown will kick you to the couch.
Why? for making it easy for Mrs Brown to get to the toilet and puke up man, Mrs Brown could almost be chalked up to being the type who don't know how to take a favour!
And Brown is plenty experienced at sleeping on the couch, and the floor

Hey! You said you only been banished to the couch once! From whence comes this "plenty experienced?"

Ahhhhh! You too! I hate it. I absolutely hate it.

Side note; I don't work this Sunday night! My first Sunday night off in months!
Yup, like sleeping on the couch at the ambulance station

Yup, me too. My partners have learned that if a patient looks like they are going to puke to hand them a basin and me the trashcan. I also get the same reaction hearing suction.
I can handle blood, guts, gore, and other fluids, but vomit? Ewww...:wacko:

Oh man! There are more of you out there than I thought! I am the only sympathetic puker at my service. It is embarrassing! :blush: It doesn't help that I get terribly motion sick too. Usually I don't actually puke, just feel terribly nauseated. (Although I have learned to puke almost silently. LOL!) So usually by the time they puke in the rig, I'm already almost there myself. One of my favorites so far was the guy who drank 4 beers and a pint of Captain Morgan Coconut Rum, ate two hot dogs, and decided to go ride his bike down the steepest hill in town......and flat out into the curb at the bottom. According to witnesses his bike just stopped and he kept going, about 15 feet through the air and another 5-10 on the ground. Anyhow, in full c-spine, in the rig, all that alcohol came up, mixed with huge chunks of hot dog and soggy pieces of bread. (Like pieces almost an inch long. I have no idea how he got them down.) Yummy!

I'm the only NON-sympathetic puker at my service. Guess who gets to do all the puke calls? :glare:

At a chili cook-off supporting local fire and EMS departments.

Lights, I am going to smack you. I was in the middle of eating cheesecake when I read that. My cat is thanking you, because she gets to finish it. For some reason, it is no longer appetizing.

Just remember, projectile vomit ALWAYS has the right of way.

Oh I'm sorry. Tell you cat that she is welcome.
On the whole puke subject here. After reading the post about the whole strips of bacon (typing this just made me gag slightly again) guess what my sister had made for breakfast this morning when I woke up. Yep......French toast and bacon. I had the French toast......just the French toast.

On that note, why is it when a patient pukes, they manage to get it everywhere except the puke bucket?

That's why you don't use a puke bucket. Take a red bag, put a hole near the top of the bag. Put head through the hole. You now have a feed bag that's impossible to miss.
